Oh! Oh, how did you get past the guards?
Oh, well, no matter.
I guess I better tell you everything.
This is a Buntifista bonus episode and you, of course, are inside Globalism HQ.
That's right, we're in a big office shaped like a windmill in the deepest jungles
of northern Belgium.
This is a very real and very scary place.
Sorry. I'm Theo, and you've caught me loading a big pile of sauroce box into a crate addressed
to extinction rebellion.
I'm here with Lucy of course who's busily using Gislan Maxwell's private stash of incriminating
photos to blackmail every family court judge on earth to rig the system against fathers. How are you Lucy? Oh that's right I am that's
just what I do and I love doing it. I love every second of it and it's very
real and it's happening. More like father's wrongs.
Oh! Of course we've got Ben, of course we've got Ben, who's busily passing a law requiring you to wear a mask while welding
instead of staring directly into the arc, and it's all because of political correctness.
I'm trying to destroy families by emasculating men.
The time was, you used to be able to weld with your bare hands, now you have to use a machine,
come on!
Yes, queen!
And finally, here's Andrew, stirring a huge vat, lab. Come on! It's terrible what's happening to the world.
And finally, here's Andrew, stirring a huge vat labeled coronavirus vaccine.
When it's done, it's not even going to try and sell it for profit.
What's going on, Andrew?
I'm going to tip it all down the toilet.
I might sell it to Jared Kushner, but maybe not.
Well, there are no toilets here, just bidets, because we're in a weird part of Europe.
So I guess we are all in lockdown here at Globalism HQ. There's nowhere we can go.
So we thought we'd take an episode to talk about things we're just enjoying doing,
and what you can do while the world falls apart. If that doesn doesn't sound like a jam, well, fucking it's not about you.
I mean it is.
We're supposed to be coming together.
Yeah, that sort of divisive rhetoric is ill-timed.
This is about you and you will learn to enjoy it, you stupid fuck.
No matter how much of George Soros's money we have to spend on making sure that you enjoy. We will will, fu, fu, fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking fucking fucking, fucking fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking, fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu. F we fu. F we fu. F we fucking. F we th. F we have. F we have th. F we have os' money we have to spend on making sure that you enjoy,
we will.
We'll spend a lot of it.
We have a lot of it.
We've got high overheads here.
We've got a lot of toilet paper.
So much toilet paper.
Do we all have toilet paper?
What's your situation?
It's fine.
We got a thing from who gives a crap the company like six months ago
That box is going to last us another six months. We're very
Do you have a famously tiny butt hole?
Modern. And you can do the maths on that one yourself if you like.
Yep. Thea takes a single square of two-ply toiletter, folds it twice in the center. And then I tear it into quarters.
Each one of those.
Gently place one quarter on the end of my fingertip.
Like someone putting your contact lens in.
Oh my goodness.
How about you Lucy? How's your TP situation?
We got a lot of it and it's that really
like fancy stuff. We got it from Amazon and I'm sorry I got it from Amazon but it's like
it's nice you know. But also what I'm doing is I'm investing in eating my fiber. So you know
it's just like it's a clean break. That's how you're going to save on your toilet paper. That's true, I guess.
It's definitely true.
It's going all right for now, but I have not seen toilet paper in the shops for several weeks.
It's been a minute.
It's been a little while.
It's been a while.
What's going on in Australia?
Are you guys, what's the deal? We're not acting normally. You're not acting normally? I feel like people are still going out over there.
Oh, absolutely.
Well, people are going nuts.
Well, they're only going out to buy more toilet paper.
They're going out to hoard more toilet paper, and that's it.
Right.
I also have not seen any in the shops in some weeks now. It is unclear what you actually have to do to obtain some to to to to to to to to to to to to to to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to to do to to to to do to to to the to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the to to to to to to to to to their their. their their their. their their the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their. the their. the the their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their their their toe. toile. toilet. toilet. toilet. toilet. toilet. toilet. toilet. toilet. to to th. to t do to obtain some toilet paper. But great news for everybody. I was in the garage.
And going through some old boxes. Right news. We have some boxes in the garage that were in
the classic state of unopened since moving two years ago, which is where you love to see.
And I can't remember what I was looking for, but going through these boxes,
and I found a gift that somebody,
apologies if you're listening to the show,
and I don't remember who it was,
but I also have to tell people
that the gift wasn't funny.
Um, somebody.
Was it like Donald Trump toilet paper?
Somebody several toldet. Oh my mom bought anything of that. It's still
somewhere in the house. There you go. That's just a good stash. It's a collector's item.
He's making a funny face on every every sheet. Oh incredible. I took that out and I put it in the,
put it in the supply. Bless you. Who's coughing? Who's coughing? I was muted wasn't I? Not for thethe start of that, you didn't get it in time. We got the start of a
cough that cut off very abruptly. Where did you cough? We're talking an elbow?
No, directly into my hands.
Cupped to receive all of the moisture droplets. Well what I'll do is I'll actually carry them all to the toilet once we're done. Just drop them directly in.
Wipe them off your hands with your excess of toilet paper.
So we were down to about six rolls, family of four,
along with some very small children who are not expert ass wipers.
Kids definitely know the value of toilet paper.
That's true. You teach them, hey there's not much of that air out. You know, when you can't just get more of something, oh no that comes
later in life. Kids understand that perfectly. They also get, they also have this
wonderful skill to be like, I'm done having 40 attempts at wiping my ass and also there's still shit on my ass somehow. They're so bad at it.
We're down to that many rolls and I went and like got some stuff from the building that
I work in and then I also stole a bunch of toilet rolls on the way out of the building.
Nice.
But here's the catch.
I didn't technically steal them from my work. I stole them from a building that we share with other people. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. That's. That's th is th is th is th. th is th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi's thi's thi. thi. thi. So, thi's thi. So, thi. So, thi. So, thi. So, thi. So, thi. So, thi. So, thi. So, thi. So, thi. So, thi. So, thi. So, thi. So, thi. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi. So, thi's thi. So, thi. So, thi. So, thi's thi. So, thi. So, thi. So, thi. I didn't technically steal them from my work. I stole them from a building that we share with other people.
What's the quality on it? That's free. That's societies. Okay, but I got four rolls so that's got me back up to 10 along with the Donald Trump roll. And we're looking good for a while. You're set for a while. The Donald Trump role I was given was comparatively small. It was not a standard size toilet roll. It was. It was. We are we just traded a enormous tub of hummus that George made
to a friend for about 10 to 12 rolls of toilet paper. Oh that's pretty wow
that trade economy already. Yeah so we're sitting I actually sorry it was
enormous tub of hummus you made and some bubgones she made and now we're... Making hummus. What an absolute treat.
Hey Ben, would you like some homemade grapefruit marmalade?
Oh absolutely.
Absolutely.
So we've got, um, so we've been getting, I think we might have mentioned on the show
previously, but food connect, right? So they, it's local farmers, local produce
that they deliver to your thing,
and every week they were delivering us one grapefruit.
Now nobody has ever eaten a grapefruit in the history of mankind.
Yeah, no, that's not true.
Ladies on a diet in the 90s.
Yeah, in like movies where like a dad says,
where's my bacon and eggs? It's a grapefruit. Here's th is th is th is th is th is grapefruit. Grapefruits taste like switch cartridges. They do. They taste like shit. Fuck
grapefruit. But grapefruit marmalade delicious. Yeah, we'll bring some around. That'd be a delight.
We're all going stone age style. Eleanor has been baking bread at home again, which is nice.
I've been baking so much bread.
I love bacon bread.
I love those brave trips.
Really living off the land.
Living off my 50-pound bag of flour.
Oh, again, we that we, um, today I made myself a nice big for breakfast.
After I was done not commuting to work, I made a big toasted sandwich or a grilled cheese for
you Americans out there. For Lucy, yeah. What does it even mean? Ridiculous.
Big, big toasted ham, cheese and tomato sandwich, a bit of mustard, like crack pepper, you know?
Tomatoes from the garden, homemade bread. Again there are just got just got to kill a pig and we can do the hand part.
However, that works, you know.
It's probably easy.
What's the part of the mystery there?
It's probably easy to grow a pig.
I'm just imagining, passing out immediately and just cracking my head on a concrete curb.
Just just waving the blade near the pig and immediately passing out.
Waking up to find that you inadvertently shaved a small patch of the pig
before the pig ate your shoe while you're unconscious.
So I feel like I've maybe got the brief wrong here right because we sort of, we talked about different ideas of what we could talk about on this episode.
Things, things are the best time for us to figure out what the brief is.
Yes, yes, let's knock these heads together here in Globalism HQ, figure it out.
Now one of our primary interests here is to make sure that you are giving as much money as possible to streaming entertainment companies.
So in the interest of that, I went away and looked at all the things that I think are worth watching on popular streaming
service Netflix. And that's certainly not what I've done. No, um you do things like read and...
And... That's not me man
She's not my jam
Not not at the moment anyway the reason that I was thinking this was because
It's it's kind of it's not particularly helpful. I think to say like hey, he's a movie that I saw that is really good if there is not any
apparent way to get a hold of that I saw that is really good if there is not any apparent way to get
a hold of that movie.
If it's like, you would have to torrent this thing and not everybody can do that, or if
it's on one of the many, many streaming services that are constantly popping up, I'm not
going to tell anybody watching anything on Di-Di-pu-I'm not getting Disney Plus, I'm not getting Disney Plus. There's two things. I had it. You don't need it anymore.
There's not enough things.
You watch the things and then you're done with it.
And then they just want you to watch the Mandalorian.
And I'll just tarn it.
Whereas I feel like the thing that, the still popping off. Still going. Yeah, we got Stan. Don't really watch it, but we got it.
You know, watch it every now and then.
Every now and then I look at Stan and I'm like,
oh yeah, they've got a whole bunch of movies
that aren't on Netflix like some good ones, you know?
Weirdly enough.
So I figure it's not really server and shit like that if they are particularly
hard to get a hold of.
Well, I mean, you can just give out your Plex server address.
Yeah, show your Plex with everyone.
And these trying to trying times?
Yeah, it's probably hard to read it all out.
So what we'll do is read out your mobile number number to get in touch. They can just SMS you. Get in tou-however they need to.
Now look, the number one movie that is available on Netflix
that we could all be watching right now instead of recording this podcast, frankly,
is Mark Wahlberg's shooter.
You're absolutely right.
That's been on Netflix now continuously for I think about three years.
Uh-huh.
Staring up. Maybe longer. For a while there, they only had the series and they didn't have the movie.
The movie dropped off and then it came back and I was like,
phew!
Even though I also have a good quality copy of it on my plexam.
Because it wasn't on Netflix, you know?
They made me do it.
Great movie though, directed by Antoine Fuqua.
Is it actually a great movie?
Well, there are aspects of it that are competent.
Okay. Certainly. Yes, that's so generous Ben. Thank you. It's not a badly made movie. It's just not a well-written or acted movie.
Is that fair? Would you agree with that? Yeah, I think that's fair.
I guess like we talk about shooter a lot, maybe too much, probably what's every two to three episodes.
And I think we said recently that we were going to attempt to describe what it is about
shooter that seems to massage some particular part of our brains, Ben.
So I think like it has the, it has the very dumb action movie beats that I personally love.
For example, anytime Mark Wahlberg's character, Bob Lee Swagger, who's on screen.
Bob Lee Swagger.
Bob Lee Swagger.
I believe that's actually his character name.
It's a, it is a long-running series of books, I believe.
Is that?
Is that true?
I've never looked at this.
I didn't even know there was a book.
Wait, am I getting this confused with Jack Ritter is also based on a book.. thsa, thsa, thsa, thsa, thia, thia, thia, thia, thia, thia, thia, thia, thia, thia, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thian, thian, thi, thi, Bob, thi, Bob, thi, thi, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, thi, Bob, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. Bob, thi. thi. Bob, thi. Bob, thiacher, it's based on a book. Okay, because Jack Reacher is also based on a big series of books.
Yes.
But you're Bob Lee Swagger.
So it means that he's also like trying to do a bit of a redneck thing, which is good.
There's a whole part where he has like a bad wig and a very stuck on beard, which is great.
Oh the fucking pony tile he has at the start the Oh the fucking pony tail he has at the start of the movie is all time
It's so good. It's so good. It's so good
But yet has that classic action movie thing that we all love which is any time that he's on the screen
He's showing you how fucking badass. Right. He's very bad ass. It's very bad ass. It's very bad ass. It's very bad ass. It's very. It's the the the th. It's the the the the th. It's the the th. It's the th. It's th. It's th. It's very bad ass. It's very bad ass. It's very bad ass. It's very bad ass. It's very bad. It's very bad. It's very bad. It's very bad ass. It's very bad. It's very bad. It's very that's very that's very. It's very. It's very. It's very. It's that's very. It's very. It's very. It's very. It's very bad. It's very bad. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's effort. It's effort. It's effort. It's effort. It's effort. It's effort. It's effort. It's effort. It's effort. It's effort. It's effort. It's effort. It's effort. It's effort. It's effort. It's effort. It's effort. It's effort's effort's effort. It's very bad. It's very bad. It's very bad. It's very bad. It's very bad. It's very bad. It's very bad. It's very bad. It's very bad. It's effort. It's effortless. Everyone around him is like, I wish I could fuck with that guy, but God he's a badass. I can't fuck with him, God damn it.
And the people around him comment on how they can't fuck with him either.
They're always just saying that what he just did is extremely smart.
Yep. Or in the case of where the bad guys are first encountering Bob Lee Swagger,
and one of them doesn't know about him and they're like, hey buddy I'll mess you up and another character immediately has to say
Oh, this dude is super badass and he will fucking destroy you
Which is great every character whether or not?
Bob Lee Swagger is constantly talking about how bad us Bobly Swagger is he doesn't have to be there for the conversation to be taking place
about how badass Bobbly swagger is. He doesn't have to be there for the conversation to be taking place. It is just happening constantly throughout the movie. Whether he is there or
not. And that's great. It's kind of like a reverse Bechdel test. Where instead of, you know,
we're all familiar with the Bechdel test that a movie should have more than one female character, at some point, two female characters should interact with each other. the th. it it. it. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It, it, it, it, it is, it is, it is, it is, it, it is, it is, it is, it is, it is, it is, it is, it is, it is, it is, it is, it is just, it is just, it is just, it is, it is, it is just, it is just, it is just, it is just, it is just, it is just, it is just, it is just, it is just, it is just, it is just, it is just, it is just, it is just, it is, it is, it is, it is, it is, it is, it is, it is, it is, it is, it is, it is, it is, it is, it is, it is, it is, it is, it is, it is, it is, it is, thi. It is, thi. It is just, thi. It is just, thi, thi. It is just, thi. It is just just, thi. It is just just just, thi, thi. It is just just just just just, thi, thi, thi,el test, that a movie should have more than one female character, at some point two female characters should interact with each other, and
thirdly that they should interact about something that is not a male lead character.
And that those characters should be named as well.
Oh, okay. Yeah.
Lady Scientist, number two.
Yeah.
Hot Broad, number three.
They're both talking about lipstick.
Technically not a band. Yeah, so this is this is kind of the inverse of that
where every character at absolutely all times is just talking about the
masculinity of the male lead. And it's great. Jack Reacher is also very
much like that. But there's just it's it's weird because there's like there's a lot of movies out there that are a very very very very very very very very very th th th. th th. th. th th th. th thically th th. thically thi thi thi thi thi thi thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thic. thic. thic. thic. thic. thic. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thin. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thin. th. th. the thin. the thin. th. thin. th. th. th. much like that. But there's just, it's weird because there's like,
there's a lot of movies out there that are a very similar formula.
But there is just something about this movie in particular that to me is like
just opening a nice pudding cup, you know, opening a yoga.
I'm just eating spoon after spoon of yoga and smiling serenely. For me, it's the best of both worlds in that it is so, like, you know how everything in
no country for old man is essentially a shot of someone doing something extremely competently,
like often with no dialogue or whatever, so much of this movie is him just seeing a problem
and immediately solving that problem through like arcane means. But at the same time, they're also try to impress upon you that you that it it it that it that it that it that it that it that it that it that it th th th th th th th th th th th th th thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi the the the thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the. thate. thateeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. a problem and immediately solving that problem through like arcane means.
But at the same time, they're also trying to impress upon you that he's the world's most
ultimate badass and extremely cool and likable.
Like the shit with like how he feeds his dog out of his own mouth, like the treats, every
time he gives him a beer from the fridge. And he lets his dog have a big drink of the beer first and then he just drinks straight out of the beer.
So badass.
Yeah, and these dogs tongue is like all up in the mouth of the bottle as well.
I know and then he's just like, yeah it's mine too, cool.
You gotta love it.
And he grows his own vegetables. That's cool. Gotta respect that. I will also say that I did I did re-watch no country for old men recently for the first time in many years
Because I was like I wonder if this movie holds up and by God that movie
Oh, it's sure good. I only watched it for the first time like a month ago
And it is really very good. It's a perfect movie that's one of my favorite like get-home shitface put a movie on movies.
Because you just like you watch the opening crawl of like Ed Tom doing his narration and
then you fall asleep and it's perfect.
Good old crazy Anton.
So that is a thing that is available on Netflix that you could watch if you have a subscription in Netflix. If you don't you can do the thing where you, you know where you make a trial the the trial try try try try the try try the the try the try the the the the the try the the the the the try the try the th a try try th. th. th. th. thr. the the thr. to make. th. th. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. the. theat. the the the that you could watch if you have a subscription of Netflix. If you don't you can do the thing where you you know where you
make a trial email address. You can do that multiple times. Yeah you can do as many
times you like who's gonna stop you? We should probably do a Netflix watch
party thing for shooter in the coming week. I think we're going to. Yeah I'm absolutely God I'm excited just at the prospect of prospect th th th the prospect the prospect th the prospect the prospect th th th th of the prospect th of th of thi th of thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi that's thi that's that's that's that's thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi things things things things things things things that things that things things thi things things things things things things things things things things thi thi thi think we're going to. Yeah, absolutely God. I'm excited just to the prospect of watching again.
And I did it like a week ago. Sounds so good. I can't wait to see it.
I can't wait for this to be something that is only like something that Andrew and I experience and not a single other living human being. What the fuck was that? Just turned into you guys watching it once every week, much like the worst idea of all
time, except every week you finish watching it and that you get into the studio and you can't
help but just yell about how much you enjoyed the entire experience.
We should do a side series that is just you and I watching it once a week for a finite
amount of time and then recording a little mini episode afterwards.
Two white guys talking about a film they like.
Unheard of.
Now Lucy sounds skeptical about this movie that she hasn't seen,
but we did do a little watch party thing very recently,
and we watched the 1987 horror comedy Blood Dinah.
We did. I tell you, I very much enjoyed that. And it's really good. It was very good I would watch that again. It's very fun. It's better
than the bye-by man. It's so much better than the bye-by man. I fucking hate the bye-bye man.
I think I slightly lost my mind while watching the bye-bye man. I've just seen so many of that that genre of horror. I love people took tho tho tho tho tho tho tho thi thi thi. I thi. I th. I th. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I've just just just just just slightly slightly slightly slightly th. I've just slightly slightly thi. I've slightly slightly thi. I've just slightly th.

I love, people talk about watching shitty horror movies and they mean like evil dead style
like camp shitty.
I love watching like where teens get murdered.
That's the crime genre of horror.
You're talking like mid-2000s.
Yeah, a knockoff of I know what you did last summer kind of thing. Exactly. I think that's the pinnacle of the horror genre for me personally.
Yeah, it's well, you know, maybe it's one of those nostalgia things where it's for you
for you it's capturing a particular time in your life where you went to the movies and
maybe I just like to see teens be punished for their existence.
That's true for the crime of horniness. That's right Well now is Lucy's turn to say a thing that one may do during quarantine
Well, you've been saying about Netflix subscriptions
That we've been like really lashing out or been like spending money on movies, you know because we're stuck at home everything's closed here. We can't go to a bar or a restaurant. Everything's really locked down here. So we've been spending our money on paying for things
on like Amazon Prime and the PlayStation store.
We watched Knives Out, which was fantastic.
If any of you have seen it?
We just watched out the other day for the first time.
It is indeed fantastic.
It is really great.
I'm so glad Ryan Johnson went on after The Last the the the the last
Jedi and did something even better than the Rise of Skywalker. He made an even better movie and I love it.
It was so much fun.
We also watched The Lighthouse.
Have you guys seen at the Lighthouse?
Oh, it's so good.
It was so good.
Oh, my goodness.
It's Robert Pattinson.
Oh, sorry, you go on.
Oh, it's Robert Patton and Willem Defoe.
It's basically the whole movie.
And it is, and it is, and it is, and it is, and it is, and it's, the the whole basically the whole movie and it is just really outstanding.
So we watched um we watched Knives Out the other night. Elna absolutely loved it. I also loved it.
Very good. And because we I made a list of movies right for Elinor and I to watch because
we're going to be having some movie watching time. But also she's not too big on the the lots of gunfire and
explosions type of movies that I would put on. Women and she's like hey there is
not a single woman speaking in this movie and I'm like oh come you're like
shut up your damn broad I'm like your oh, come on. You're like, shut up your damn broad. I'm like, your standards are so high.
And anyway, which is, you know, not absolutely not because I have like any aversion to it or anything.
It is purely a matter of if my brain is on autopilot, that is the kind of thing I'll put on,
which she's not interested in.
So I deliberately made a big list of movies for
the two of us to watch, both of us will be interested in. And we watched Knives Out, which we
both enjoyed very much. We watched Hustlers, which people fucking banged on about how good it
was and it sucked shit. Yeah, I saw a trailer, it looked like shit. People, like, okay, because I'm going to a particular place for this.
You know how over the last sort of 12 months, there's been a lot of like, ooh, class politics
in movies, Joker.
Um, fucking.
Parasite.
Parasite, hustlers and so on and so forth. Hustlers was like the dumbest most fucking basic bitch
version of this shit you can possibly imagine.
Apart from the fact that they're making a movie out of a thing
that eventually already had a movie made out of it,
which was like that, remember that bling ring movie?
That was a true story thing and that was like robbing fucking other rich people or whatever.
But this thing was honest to God like they go oh there has been a recession.
We are all losing our stripping jobs.
What if we just drug these people and got got their money out with their credit cards?
And then at some point Jalo is like, it's like we are Robin Hood.
And that's about the depth of that.
It just fucking sucked.. Everybody a cardboard cut out of a character.
So Andrew hates female lead movies. It's fine.
It's just that was a bad one. It was a bad one. Love shooter hated hustlers.
It's just interesting. And then we and then we watched uh we did watch parasite and we were both like, it was good.
That's right, end of sentence.
Yep, I haven't seen it.
You keep talking forever.
Do we not love, I haven't seen it yet.
That's my tomorrow night movie.
Don't listen to Andrew.
Okay. No, no, I'm not saying it's not good at all.
Yep. I love, I love good Korean movies. They produce an absolute load of them.
Yeah, we get it. You're not racist. Fantastic. Go on. And here's one. I have many Korean
friends. But no, it's just, I think we may have been suffering from the burden of extremely
high expectations because of how long everybody has fucking banged
on about.
Yeah, I went in with those same expectations and then walked out and fuck me.
That was really good.
They were all right.
Fair day.
They were correct.
All right.
So, I'm absolutely agreeing.
Great movie, right?
Yeah, wonderfully made and shot and acted and everything.
Maybe the part that I'm missing, maybe I'm really dumb.
I don't know.
A lot of people were talking about it as like incredibly deep, like, class analysis stuff,
and an incredibly deep like examination of capitalism.
I was like, yeah, are we all just not used to like metaphors in movies?
Maybe, I mean I think the thing that surprised me was how woven into the fabric of the movie that was, instead of it being like,
Snow Pierce where they're literally moving through trained cars representing class, right? Like, I think because they were kind of portrayed as being real people, uh, and, uh, and, uh, and, uh, and, uh, and, they-and. th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th-and, th-and, th-and, th-and, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th things things things things things things things things things thing thing thing thing thing thing thing thing thing thing thing thing thing thing thing thing thing things that that, that that that that, right? Like, I think because they were kind of portrayed as being real people and having, you know,
the rich people have these, you know, positive aspects and that sort of thing, and the poor
people in the beginning were made out to be, you know, rogues and all that sort of thing, that, that it sort of made the themes of class more than, you know, that, the, the the thanks, thrues, thrown, thrown, thrown, thrown, thrown, thr, their, thr, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, teea.ea.ea.ea.ea.ea.ea.e.ea.e.e.e.e.e. their, their, their, their, their, their, their, that sort of thing, that it sort of made the themes of class more subtle.
But I don't think, like you were saying, it's not a super deep thing, but it's not trying
to be either.
It's not trying to blow your mind with the way that it's structured this to be like an ornate cube puzzle that you kind of take apart and it goes,
surprise it was about class. I think it was more about the way in which
people you know interact between in a society where this sort of structure exists
and that you know I think by the end of it they the the poor family
were the ones wearing all of the damage and performing you know I think by the end of it they the the poor family were the ones
wearing all of the damage and performing you know all of the bad stuff spoiler
alert to anyone who hasn't seen parasite but go and see it anyway like absolutely
and and like yeah I thought that the the messages were fairly clear when
they were happening which was like you're saying, for,
like the line that stood out to me the most was a scene where the mother of the family in
the middle, not even right down the very bottom, the family in the middle who says, like,
money is like an iron, you know, it wrinkles out all the issues, it irons out all the wrinkles. And there's moments in the movies where things have happened that are that are that are that are that are that are that are that are that are that are that are like that are like that are like tho... that are like that are like that are like that are like th out all the issues. It irons out all the wrinkles.
And there's moments in the movies where things have happened that are like catastrophic to the poorer people.
And they don't even register for the rich people, all that sort of stuff.
Yeah, I guess I sort of, I wonder if partly my expectations were set around the things I had seen, people saying about it on
social media in terms of, like, oh, the level of sort of, the depth of class analysis and
that sort of stuff. And I was like, yeah, I feel like if you watch a lot of movies, if you watch
anything even remotely like Art House or anything, none of it was like, I don't know, none of it was anything that I came away from going,
I don't know what any of that movie was supposed to mean, or anything like that. I don't know.
I guess maybe it was that level of reaction that people had had that I sort of, I came away from it almost going, am I missing something?
Not in terms of the quality of the film, but in terms of the messages I'm meant to be taking
away from.
No, I don't think so.
Okay.
And anyway, that's been Lucy's turn.
Lucy liked Knives out.
thate. Lucy liked Knives Out too. I did. Can we talk about the Lighthouse though?
Yes, we can.
It's so fucking perfect.
I haven't seen it yet, and I know probably a whole bunch of people that haven't seen Parasite
and they've just been spoiled for it, but I'm on the podcast, so don't spoil it for me directly.
It's good. I went into it completely blind.
So I'm going to let you go into it into it to to to go into it completely to go into it completely to to to to go into it completely to to to to let you go into it completely blind, but it is perfect.
It is a perfect movie, even though it's all in black and white, which sounds so hack, but it's so good.
It's like kind of, it's sort of four by three is as well, isn't it?
It is, yes. Mmm, there's a different aspect ratio or whatever it is, right? Yeah. So yeah, he wanted to make it look to to make to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. the. the. the. the. the. to to to to to to to to to to to the. the. tharessionist movies from like the 30s and 40s and it's just it's gorgeous.
Which sounds so stupid if someone brought that idea to me I would be like,
it sounds like shit.
It sounds so dumb, but it's it's perfect.
Well, I think all of the best movies are like that because
the majority of movies that get made are the ones where somebody goes, GI Joe was an action figure that was popular in the 1980s which
means that of the demographic we are targeting this number of people will know
what it is. You know what? People of emojis, let's make the emoji movie.
Has anybody here seen the emoji movie? No we almost watched it last night
and then I realized I wasn't high, and then it sounded like a horrible idea.
I sure have been.
If you want to come away with more unintentional messages about capitalism,
please watch the emoji movie.
I'm gonna do it when I've got like a night at home by myself.
Like four brownies, forget my own name and then watch the emoji movie. It's so fucking bleak dude TJ Miller is the main character
that's famous sex-best Tjee J Miller yeah like every now and then my kids are
like who the emoji movie I'm like oh the other fairly recent movie that we just watched
was upgrade I don't know if anybody's... I love Upgrade.
I need to watch that.
Upgrade was...
No fucking bang.
Logan Marshall Green so much.
The actor?
The fuck is Logan Marshall Green.
He did not read.
He was in an episode of the O.C.
He's in a movie called The Invitation the Inv.
He looks like alternate universe. It's a movie called The Invitation, which is also amazing. But Upgrade is something I watched in a plane, because it sounded stupid, but it's really
good, and it's even though it's an Australian film production.
Shockingly enough.
Oh, he was the Prometheus.
Oh, he was the, yeah, Tom Hardy and Prometheus.
But yeah, no, it was very good. It's directed by Lee Wunell, the Australian guy who was the co-creator of Saw.
He's doing some good stuff.
Yeah, he was also...
Just a damn visible man.
Yeah, that's, well that's getting really good, really good write-ups.
Uh, Theo, hit us, thiiiii.
thiiii, hit us, hit us, thi. We've been watching a lot of better call Saul. I never got around to that.
I avoided it for a very long time because I was warned that it's slow
and that it's nothing like Breaking Bad.
But you know, I think enough time has passed that we shouldn't want something that's like Breaking Bad anymore.
I think it was what it was, and they were very wise to not make it anything like Breaking Bad. And's not. It's one of the most un-showy shows I've ever seen. There's
very little artifice to it. It is incredibly patient and just all about the characters
and the kind of, you know, the plot that's like, I mean it's it sounds stupid but that's what it is. There's no... there's no... it was the is no... thi's th is. It was thi was that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that that that that that that that that that that that that thus thus thus thus th thus that that thus thus th thus th th th th th th th thus th thus th that is that is th th th th th th th th th th th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is that th is that that that that that that that that it was that that that it was that it was that it was what that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that of, you know, the plot.
That's like, I mean, it sounds stupid,
but that's what it is.
There's no, they're not trying to impress you,
they're not trying to say, oh, this is cool.
In fact, they, a lot of places where shows would have
dialogue, they will just show someone's expression instead. And briefly, and it's up to you to determine what's sort of, you know, going
on behind people's sort of faces and that sort of thing.
It's just a really well-written, well-acted show, Bob Odenkirk.
I'm so glad that we live in the Hellsian days of Bob Odenkirk because he fucking
knocks it out of the park.
Have you guys seen the movie, the show, Better Call
Saul? I have not seen it. I thought I would not like it, but now I'll give it a go. Ben,
a friend of the show, Ben Jungles, I would say once a week tells me to watch Better Call
Soul and every time I'm like, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll get around to it. But maybe this is finally the time that I do. It's the time. And make sure you tell him, I'm only watching this because Theo said it was good.
He is a better friend to me and I've decided to follow his advice, even though it's the same advice.
It's different in its own way.
It's great. And look, if you find yourself with a lot of time to kill. It's five seasons in now. Every episode is wonderful.
The supporting actress whose name I forget...
Ooh, tears. Yeah, is the like beating heart of the show. She's so good. And I don't really know how to explain how or why.
Okay. There you go. Check out better call so for reasons that is wonderful. And I don't really know how to explain how or why.
Okay.
There you go.
Check out better call soul for reasons that escape me.
And that is all available on the Australian streaming platform, Stan, I believe.
Yeah. Now you may think we're taking the piss. No, the streaming platform is Stan.
And I do believe it is named after the slang term which in turn comes from the Eminem song.
Huh. Pretty cool. You guys getting those plovers? I'm hearing those plovers. Are those your plovers?
Well, I wouldn't say I own them. You can't like own a plover. You can't own a plover.
You can't own a plover. You fear them. When I was in high school I saw a guy kid hit one with a cricket bat and I thought
he owned that plumber. Is that a real story?
It's a real story. It was horrifly. Oh my car is a bad place. Just to be clear, plover
plovers deserve that treatment. Yeah, at the time they were aggressively swooping this kid. Good lord. Yeah, they've got, they've got little, sorry. This is, this is this is this is the pl pl pl pl pl pl pl pl pl pl pl pl pl pl pl pl pl pl pl, this is the pl, the pl, the pl, the pl, the pl, the pl, the pl. This is the pl.

Yeah, they've got, they've got little, sorry, this is now the plover hour, in the nature corner
theme, they've got little, little spines under their wings.
They're not venomous, but they just live in their own filth.
All they do is sit in a whole and they scream. Nobody knows is that. That is thus is that. That's is that. That's is that. That's is that. That's is that. That's is that's is that. That's is.

Nobody knows that.
That doesn't sound right.
Theo just said it's not venomous, but it is poisonous,
so, and the bird would be injecting it into it.
He's just scratching your head with it.
Welcome to Science Corner.
Uh-huh.
See, now the thing, the distinction I was going to make is, I don't it actually has any like venom sacks or anything like that I think they're just filthy because they're
disgusting birds and they belong in the trash. I agree.
Ben hit us for something please. You canceled, lovers. We've got them. We're putting you on notice.
I'm gonna make a recommendation that is not a, no actually it is a TV series,
sorry I was immediately wrong saying this, but this is not something you're going to find
on a streaming platform. I'm going to give you a lot of a KFC ads though. I'm going to
give you a lot of recommendations from the website, YouTube. No, it's like a sort of a free
free video. I distinctly remember was the year 2006. I was a You have to watch a shitload of KFC ads though. Unless you've got ad blocker on. Now that's UTUBE.
The first time I ever used YouTube,
I distinctly remember was the year 2006,
I was in year 11, someone told me to look up a
Powerman 5,000 video on YouTube
and I asked him how do you spell YouTube
and I started typing it in with a you. That's a 100% that's that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, I, that's, I's, I's a, I's a, I's a, I's a, I'd th, I'd thi, I'd thi, I'd the thi, I'd their, I'd their, I'd their, I'd their, I'd I'd I'd I'd I'd I'd I'd I'd I'd I'd I'd I'd I'd I'd I'd I'd I'd I'd I'd I'd I'd I'd I, I, I'd I, I, I, I'd I, I, I, I, I'd I, I'd I'd I'd I, I'd the the the the they. I'd th. I'd th. I'd th. I'd thi. I'd thi. I'd thi. I'd toa. I'd toa. I'd just just, toelling me this is a Powerman 3,000 song.
Do you say 3,000?
I don't know.
The upgraded version of the early model of Powerman 5,000.
Powerman 10.
There's not the one on the Tony Hulk, Pro Skater 2.
It was not World's Collide, no.
Which has the most shockingly late 90s early thousands video clip, possibly
in existence.
If you combine rave culture with steampunk goggles and cyber gottheflare, and they will.
And they will.
Check out Powerman 5,000 who actually meant to tour in Australia later this year and Ben and
I were going to go.
But uh, coronavirus.
Don't if you guys have heard about this. Devastating. My recommendation is for an American panel game show called Match Game
that I believe started in 1962 and maybe is still going, I'm not sure, but very specifically,
you want to watch match game
73. This is the season of that TV show for the year 1973. So this show is like, it's the same
format as family feud and stuff, you know, where people are asked questions to like fill in a blank or whatever,
and then they're matched against the audience. You know, like how many people in the audience said this if you get, whatever, 70 matches
or whatever, but this was a random, ordinary person guest filling in a blank and comparing
it to like six or seven celebrity panelists.
And all of them were like comedians or whatever.
And the first year of the show, which in 1962, everything was like very dry.
Like it was just like, Johnny likes apples because they are blank.
And everyone would be like, delicious.
And then they would win.
And then in 1963...
But in 1962, that was the funniest thing you could imagine.
That was literally the only kind of entertainment they had nothing else. They had balls and sticks and that. And that. And tha tha. And tha. And tha. And they their they they the only kind of entertainment they had. They had nothing else. They had balls and sticks and that.
In 1963, they were facing cancellation, and they were like, well, fuck it, we're going
to be canceled anyway.
And so everything became like a very, very obvious setup for someone to say something filthy.
So all of it was like, Johnny surprised his wife by doing black or whatever.
And it was always just like seven drunk 60s celebrities just being like fuck it to it's exactly what
family feud is like you know how Australian family feud is like what's
something you would eat for breakfast over here it's like whereas somewhere
you would put your penis and then they say it and Steve Harvey's like
like oh oh fuck.
Yeah, his mouth just hangs up in 14 minutes.
So this is where all the gifts come from, Steve Harvey turning to look at the camera.
Oh, it's a side recommendation from this actually.
All of the Vic Berger remixes of Steve Harvey video clips.
Steve Harvey doesn't want to host Family Feud anymore as one of them, but it's just him recutting them and putting like weird, sad music over Steve Harvey losing his mind to people's
answers and stuff.
Sounds great.
It's definitely worth checking out.
Does Fickaburger follow you?
I don't believe he does.
No, I was wondering if you are about to brag about that. No, no if you could just shoot my quick tweet and ask him to unblock me because
he blocked me for some reason like five years ago.
Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
VicBurger rules.
Look, I'll enjoy his content.
I'll talk to my people.
I'll get the hashtag.
We'll circle back, yeah. Action, I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I'm. I. I. I. I'll tha. I'll tha. I'll tha. I'll th. I'll th. I'll th. I'll th. I'll th. I'll th. I'll th.

We'll circle back.
Yeah. Action item. Yeah.
Hashtag on block Theo. If you can... Anyway, in conclusion, watch every episode of Match Game 73,
especially the ones that have quote, have banned in parentheses after the episode number.
Because they were the ones taken out of circulation for either production issues or because they were slightly too rude. But yeah it's amazing. They have like...
Those are all the ones where someone said what is something you would eat for
breakfast and they went pussy. Yeah basically. They went ah cut it.
Also they my favorite thing of the world about match game is Charles Nelson Riley
who is a celebrity who was on... I think he's been on more episode than th of the world about match game is Charles Nelson Riley, he was a celebrity who was on...
I think he's been on more episode than anyone else, but for like the 10 to 20 years that he was on that show,
he was an ex... well, like as in real life, he was an extremely campy gay man, who never publicly said that he was gay until like 30 years later and every single joke was like some weird
gay double entendre.
It's so perfect.
It's just like such a weird facet of the time to have a guy, Supercamp has a cravat and
like a cigarette in one of those cigarette holders.
It's, yeah, it's amazing.
It's delightful.
Match Game 33.
Speaking of Weird, Weird Al Yankovic did a song about Charles Nelson Riley
called CNR from the album Alpocalypse.
I did not know that.
Yeah. A whole album about a whole song in the style of the white stripes.
Wow. About how badass Charles Nelson Riley. Oh, that rules. Yeah. Um, hey.
You know this Netflix thing?
That you probably have, and you can watch the one.
Who likes a bit of horror movie?
I do.
Oh, I do.
I do.
I do.
I do.
I do.
I do. If you're the Tall Grass? That sounds familiar, which one's that?
It is the adaptation of a Stephen King slash Joe King story.
Yes, mm-hmm, I remember.
Where some people get cold into the Tallgrass?
They sure do. That was actually quite good. I enjoyed that one.
That's what I thought. Pretty good. Yeah.

There you go.
I love Patrick Wilson.
Patrick Wilson is daddy.
One time I did a tweet about not knowing his name
and never wanting to find out,
and they'd had like 50 people reply saying,
it's Patrick Wilson.
And I will never forget. And I didn't even want to to to to to to even want want want want want want want want want want want want to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the toe.oooooo. the the the too. the too. to know.

37% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Yeah, no, that's not fair.
I like 5.4 on IMDB.
Who are you going to believe?
Yeah, who are you going to believe?
Yeah, who aren't you going to believe?
How many people are who are the tomatoes thing?
Now the the the the the the the the the thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi don't do the Rotten Tomatoes thing. You just Google it and then you look at what the audience rating was.
That's just regular chumps like you and me. That was 59% like this movie. I liked it. I had a good time.
Good and spooky had a nice, nice bit of a cult kind of flavor going on.
A bit of weird stuff, a bit of kind of of a cult kind of flavor going on
A bit of a bit of weird stuff a bit of kind of creepy old ones kind of mythology in it Before you have been and also if you like that kind of thing I also recommend the I think it's a I think it's a
Netflix horror movie like has been made by Netflix the ritual Oh the ritual is so fucking good good. Good movie that was a fucking great movie that was a fucking great movie that that, I th. I I ki. I the the th. th. th. the th. th. th. ki. I the th. I the ki. A the th. A th. A the th. A the the ki. A the the the the the the the the the the the kind a kind a kind a bit a kind of kind of kind of kind of kind of kind of kind of kind of kind a kind a kind a bit a bit a bit a bit a bit a bit a bit a bit a bit a bit a bit a bit a bit a bit a bit a bit a bit a bit a bit a bit a kind a kind a kind a kind a kind a kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I, I, I, I th. It. It's. It's a th. It's a th. It's a th. It's a th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. It's a th. It's a th. It Netflix, the ritual. Oh the ritual is so
fucking good. Good movie. That was a fucking great god-dam horrh-a-movie. Yeah
just a nice, a nice sort of, I don't know, a bit of that kind of Blair witchy sort of
vibe of weird, weird culty stuff happening. Also gave me tones of an American
well-wulf in London when they're sort of tramping around on the Moors and getting lost at
the start and stuff, you know?
Love and more. A bit of that kind of thing. So I do recommend the ritual, nice sort of
weird Euroculty sort of stuff.
And it's one of those nice, it's one of those nice kind of slow burn ones that just very gradually ramps up into like going quite insane at the end.
That's what I love, like almost a thriller but the horror movie, you know, it's like, you just feel a little uncomfortable for like an hour and a half.
Yeah, that's what you want. It just kind of takes over. Have you ever seen Joshua?
That is an older, older movie. When is that movie from?
Vera Farmerga. Oh, she's great. But yeah, that was, um, no, that's the wrong movie.
2007, Sam Rockwell, Vera Farmerger, as like two parents who have a new baby and then
the psycho nine-year-old is like, hey, maybe I'm the Antichrist.
Love a crazy kid. Yeah, great plot point.
That is a top-tier, 2007 movie, Joshua. I recommend that movie. If you like that is a top tier, 2007 movie, Joshua.
I recommend that movie, if you like that sort of Rosemary's Baby style, slow burn, uncomfortable horror type of thing.
On that, that same kick, just good crazy kid movies.
Just Watch The Visitor properly for the first time from 1979.
Just fucking amazing, bunch of weird, bald aliens and fucking John Houston and a creepy anti-Christ child.
It's a good time. Nice. I thought you were going to say the visit for a second there.
I never got to see that. That I will
rate that movie. Found footage horror movie by M-Night Shyamalan.
Jesse keeps telling me to watch this. Yeah it's it's good it's good. I feel like
old M-Knight came back with some good some good flicks after some time in the wilderness, after his lady in the water and what's the, what was
the other one? Not the happening, everybody, I know everybody shout out.
The elevator one? No, that was, he didn't make that movie. That was like, oh, he just produced
it, right? It was one of those, like, you know how, you know how Luke Berson has just like a fucking sactory of EuroCorp movies where it's like,
I thought of an idea and I wrote it on a napkin while I was drunk, but I don't want to make it.
So I'm going to get this Turkish guy or this Polish director or whatever to do a movie,
like all of the taken movies and shit like that.
That's basically what the M-9 shamelan thing. It's like, M-night shaman had an idea, and now, and now, and now, and now, and now, and now, and now, and now, and now, and now, and thia, thia, and thia, th, thia, thia, thia, thia, thia, thia, thia, thia, thia, thia, thia, thia, th, thia, thi, thia, thia, thia, thia, thia, thia, thia, thia, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thia, th, th, has, has, has, has, has has has th, has has th, has th, has has th, has th, has th, has a th, has a th, has a thi, has a thi, has a thi, has a thi, has a thi, has a thi, has a thi, has a thi, has a thi, thi, thiiiiii, thiii, thiiii, thi, thi, has a thi thing. It's like, M-Night-Shamalan had an idea and now someone else is making the movie. But yeah, like the visit was really good because I'm a big-time
fan of Founda-Foge Horror Movies and I thought that one was very interesting because
if you watch like M-Knight-Shamaran's original run of movies, it's very clear that he's kind of a very formally trained filmmaker, you know.
So it's very interesting to see what somebody with that kind of, that kind of, you know, being that well-versed in cinematic language
to see somebody then making a found footage horror movie is really interesting,
because he had some quite interesting little devices in there and stuff
But it's also very very well-paced in terms of like gradually turning the creepiness up and all that sort of thing
I do recommend that one nice as far as as far as other good horror movies that are on the old Netflix event horizon
Absolute sci-fi horror classic. You gotta love it.
You gotta throw it on every now.
It's pretty good.
The bye-bye man, I hear what people are talking about.
Hearing a lot of buzz about it.
A lot of buzz around, bye-by-man.
God damn it.
The whole purge series is on there,
although whether or not you want to watch a whole series of movies about society collapsing at the moment and everybody murdering
Yeah, it's probably not ideal is up to you
I can't bring myself
Despite it trending very highly I cannot bring myself to re-watch the Steven Sotterbog the movie contagion no
No, well, that's not what I want to watch right now
Andromed astrane that's off the list.
Contagion is so good though.
What's it called?
Say it again?
Say it again?
How many more times?
No, I think we're just going to move on.
And of course...
But, but do watch Pontypool.
Oh, the to'n' t a movie made for you. Pontypool, my boy.
Absolutely. I might even want you tonight. Hell. Who knows? All bits are off.
It's the age of the plague. There's an infectious disease movie that we can all enjoy.
Yeah. But no, one of my other all-time favorite sci-fi movies is on the Australian Netflix,
which is the War of the World's remake with Tom Cruise and Stephen Spielberg. I will go to the mat for that movie I'll
have a big time if you have not great memories of it go and watch it again
with the sound turned way up. I could just watch Fucking Edge of Tomorrow
again instead. Well that's also a great movie because I will make the argument that late Korea Tom Cruise sci-fi is all fantastic. Yep. That including
I don't know. Tom Cruise I don't know. Yeah I like oblivion. Yeah it was all right.
It's good. Is he an elf? Good soundtrack.
M-84 soundtrack. I just want to, sorry I heard you Theo shut the fuck up.
It is important to, sorry, I heard you Theo, shut the fuck up. It is important to tell you to shut the fuck up.
Will I get M84 if I haven't listened to M83?
Moving on.
We might have to say to...
We might have to do this as a speed round of all the stuff we've got left just because we devoted 45 minutes to shooter.
I have one thing though. Have any of you watched Alex Garlandland's the the to the the to the to the tholan garlin to to to the the to the thullullullullullullulled to to the th garlin garlin garland's th guar to thia to thia thia to to thia to to to to to to to their to to to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to to to to to to to their their their their their their their their their their their their their their 45 minutes to shooter. I have one thing though
have any of you watched Alex Garland's new show devs? No? No. I don't know if
you can get this in Australia yet maybe on like YouTube? It's Amazon Prime I
think right? It is Amazon. I think it's on Hulu here so I don't know if there's a way to pay for it or torant it but it is very very. And Alex Garland is probably one of my favorite filmmakers.
Yeah.
Did he?
Did he?
An annihilation?
I don't know if he did, I think he's maybe the, like, the script writer?
I could be wrong about this.
He's definitely a big part of my ex-Macana.
Yeah, so he wrote like basically all of Danny Boyle's movies. Sunshine, which is one of my favorite films of all time.
So good.
Treat yourself and watch Sunshine and Event Horizon as a little double feature.
Definitely watch Sunshine.
It makes you feel very, that's a lot of existential dread. It's going to make you feel really good.
Yeah, Dev's is on Fox Tell so don't watch it. Oh damn, Torrent it if you can.
It's very, very good.
So I was Nick Offerman.
I don't know what it's about.
Yeah, there's like three episodes in, I don't know what's happening, but I like it.
I like it very much.
I feel like you would all enjoy it very much.
Hell I'll watch it.
Good. If you can get it for th for th for th for th for th for th for th for th for th for th for th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th that that that that that that that that that th. th. th. th. th. that that that th. th. th. th. th th th th th th th th th th th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th th th. th. th. that that that that that that, that, that. that. that. that that that that. that that that that that. that that that that. I that that that. So, there's never been a better time to read Infinite Jest.
I almost bought it at Avid Reader the other day. I almost did it.
What is it? What's it about? Do we know?
Oh, geez, that will take a while.
I've seen it. I do not.
No, Theo has a copy of his house.
Does Theo actually have a copy?
He does. It's in his gaming room. It's really thick thick thick thick thick thick thick thick thick thick thick thick thi thi. thi. thi. th. thi. th. thi. thi. th. thi. th. th. tho. tho. tho. tho. th. thi. tho. tho. tho. th. tho. th. tho. th. th. th.

It's a large book.
It's a large book.
If you're looking towards the door, I think, if I remember correctly.
Does it look red?
Does it look, you know, rough?
You are, you are so close.
It's on the top shelf towards the left. of two Jonathan friends and books. You got some real, it is a journey looking at
your book collection in your house. It's all over the place. And you know I'm not
making any value judgments. I'm sure those Harvard Lampoon, Lord of the Rings
parody books are very, very good.
Not mine. Board of the Rings I believe.. Did you also have to snort it?
There's a shared bookshelf.
Oh so now you're just going to throw your Wi-Fi to the bus.
Fantastic.
I can say who's a...
What's it?
Who's being gnomes?
Infinite Jess is definitely not hers.
I know that for sure. Hey, a lot of stand-up on Netflix.
I very much enjoy the Tom Stagorro special mostly stories.
Both of the Anthony Jezelnick specials, especially the ones where he's got a beard.
Yeah, they're not good.
I hate Anthony Jesle-nick so much.
It's not for me.
I don't like stand-up so much.
Oh, I love stand-up. I like four stand-up people and no one else.
And that's it. That's not true.
But yeah.
John Malaney, we can all agree on.
Watch season three of Stuart Lee's comedy vehicle for the 19th time.
Oh, go. It's so good.
It's so good. Why is there just season 3?
It's best.
Watch Adam Sandler's 100% fresh.
In which Adam Sandler goes out and does a bunch of adorable stand-up comedy.
It's very nice, it's pleasant.
I hear this is nice.
You should watch some Louis CK, you got your Z Z ZSAri
Sorry.
there. Dave Chappelle.
Jerry Seinfeld.
No, no.
Here's a list of games you can beat in about four hours.
Oh, I like it.
The 90s Adventure Game Loom.
Get it on the FM Towns or the Amiga version, play it through Scum VM.
Don't get the CD version. It's missing a bunch of content.
The PS 3-4 game Journey is spectacular I would have recommended every single
person in the world to play Journey at least once there's a journey free I don't
know it could be on it could be the PlayStation Network special thing
might have been one of those PS plus thing yeah PS plus thing but it
should be cheap by now and they're good folk that made journey.
So give them your money if you've got money to give.
There's a little indie game called A Short Hike which is fairly cheap I think and it's
just about like walking around a mountain and like climbing it and chatting to people and
finding stuff on the beach and stuff.
It's very, um, sounds stuff. It's a very...
Sounds nice.
It's a warm hug of a game.
Yeah, it's beautiful.
And Oberdin is fucking great as well.
And it's probably about four hours long.
Wonderful little, wonderful little brain puzzle.
Me and Lucy will be over here playing call duty modern warfare.
I play Overwatch and call of duty
and that's all and if you're a listener and you would like to play those
games with me the 9-11 Truth or on PlayStation Network. It's true. It's not a
true. Yep, her avatar is a horny little fox or something. Oh my goodness, it's Cocoa
Bandicoot and she's very horny. What the fuck is Cocoa Bandicoot?
Crash Bandicoot's really hot sister, okay?
God, when we wonder where all the kids today got all their incest fantasies from, honestly,
I'm turned into furries and shit.
Uh, this is a recommendation.
I have enjoyed the... Oh, I'm sorry, you go.
I was just going to say, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I the tha, I tha, I tha, I to say, I to say, I to say, I to say, I tha, I to say, I th new Call of Duty a little while ago and I'm very much enjoying it.
And like Lucy, that is the one game that I play.
I have a whole bunch of games, don't play any of them.
I play it the one thing that you like and be really good at it.
Yeah, that's why I can be good at it.
Look, I'm pleased enough with myself that I am a fucking 37 year. seven-year-old man and I can be the top of multiplayer games on call of
duty. That's it. I don't want any story. I'm very happy for you. I don't play the
story mode. I'm not doing that shit. If I wanted a story I'd watch a film you know.
Yeah that's right. I'd watch a movie. I don't want so much story that I'm willing to watch a prestige TV show. But I'd watch a movie. Me either. I'll th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th tho tho tho tho tho tho tho that the the the that that tho the their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their th.

I'm willing to watch a prestige TV show but I'd watch a movie. Me either I'll think about it I'll think about watching the Sopranos one day.
I've probably seen one and a half episodes of Breaking Bad and that was
enough. I'm like has he broken bad yet or what? Come on. I think he breaks bad more
or less in the first few episodes actually yeah then what's all the rest of it about? You know? I hate to be be the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. I th. I th. I th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th.

I hate to be this guy, but it gets so much better after like episode three.
Don't want to know that.
Won't be watching it.
Thanks to Andrew, I've discovered that there is an extraordinary wealth of bowling tournament videos
starting from the 50s up until now.
It turns out that watching like the 1968 local bowling
competition from Fucktown, Indiana on mute while listening to literally anything
is the best fun you could have. It's so soothing. It is the most peaceful, relaxing
fucking shit in the world. My strong recommendation would be just literally type in bowling tournament 1971 put on the album Mr. Mello by fucking washed out and
just enjoy a really good relaxing 45 minutes. It'll change your life.
Sounds nice. It's a great time. You know what I listened to for the very first time the other day?
The album Pet Sounds by the Beach Voice.
Hmm. It's a good one. It's not bad. Yeah, and I was like, oh my favorites on it. But, but I could not stop laughing at
all of the scenes from Walk Hard where he's in his Brian Wilson phase. Every time there was like, you know, the sound sounds. It's, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, the sound, the sound, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, the sound, the sound, the sound, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th sound, um, um, um, the that thou, um, um, um, um, that, um, um, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the scenes from Walk Hard, where he's in his Brian Wilson phase. Every time there was like, you know, a sound effect of pouring something or like a bell ringing or whatever.
I was like, yeah. Watch, watch Walk Hard, a way better movie than Step Brothers.
Walk Hard. Sorry to pit things against each other, but Walk Hard has kind of lived in the shadow
of Step Brothers, and it's so good.
The fucking like, just all of the drug scenes are so god-dame perfect.
The amount of sinks that he destroys.
The number of blankets he needs, increasing level of male nudity throughout the film.
Yeah, remember, remember that whole patch of time in like whatever it was the mid to late 2000s?
Was it really that long ago?
When it was all just Adam McKay movies where they were like, all right, we're going to
shoot one line of story and then we just want you to improv for like 40 minutes.
Yeah, it's good. We'll cut five minutes where the jokes out of it.
And then the Mariners will repeat for the whole moving.
Teldaganites is great.
I would go into bat for Teladaginites any time of day.
Yeah.
I just, um, it's, it's...
Oh, look.
It was all fun and games at the time, but I think if there was one thing that showed
us that it very much just seemed to happen in a condensed window of time, where like Adam
McKay and Jud Appetow were doing that particular thing, the thing that showed us how fine out
a limit of time that was working in was Anchor 2. Oh yeah.
Zulander 2 as well? Zoolander seemed not as bad. Yeah
Incommand 2 was definitely worth. Well unlike Ancomand 2, Zoolander was like
Zoolander, it was a movie with a story. They went, here's a plot and some stuff.
Whereas the other movie, like Ancomman 2 was the same as all the other movies from that era where they said here is the absolute barest bones of a plot and every scene is just
these guys improving jokes which ironically I found to be like the worst
kind of thing for at a certain point the worst sort of thing for getting
really high and watching you know how like really camp stuff is fun when you're high because you're like,
hey, look at all these people fucking up making a movie or these people trying hard to
do a thing but everything's kind of wrong or whatever it might be. Whereas with that, like you
watch those movies and you're like, you're not even trying to make a movie.
So everybody just kind of fucking around and then you stitch trying to make a movie. It's everybody just kind of fucking around
and then you stitch together a movie out of it.
And you all got paid a lot of money for it.
Give me your money instead of singing Imagine.
You know who does rule though?
Is Dark Adam McKay?
Jody Hill.
Everything that Jody Hill does rules,
Observe and Report might be one of the most slept on movies
in the history of movies.
I watched that when it came out as like a teen and I cannot really remember anything about
it.
It's so good.
And all of the Observing Report stuff, so go and check out the entire Ouvra of Jody
Hil.
Well I was going to say, I will give Adam McKay some credit though, because he kind of
moved away from that style of filmmaking somewhat into, like he just became super focused on
like how fucked up capitalism is.
Because you made the other guys, which still had obviously a bunch of Will Ferrell doing improv type shit, but was completely about like Wall Street and rigged pension funds and
stuff like that, and then made the big short, and then, well, was that fucking Dick Cheney?
No, I don't want to see Christian Bay or be Dick Cheney.
But at least, at least he sort of went, yeah, the, I think the structure of to see that. I don't want to see Christian Bayel be Dick Cheney.
But at least, at least he sort of went, yeah, I think the structure of that is kind of done.
Outside of making Anchorman 2, the legend over on Burgundy.
Please don't do that.
Don't do it to yourself.
No more, Anchorman 2, the legend continues. I remember putting that on and being like, holy, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tho, tho, tho, tho, to tho, tho, to tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, tho, tho, tho, tho, th. I th. I th. I, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, th. I th. I th. I thi, no, no, no, no, no, no, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, tho, tho, to thooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. I thoo. I tho, tho, tho, man 2, the legend continues. I remember putting that on and being like, Holy fuck, you're all so old.
You're all so old.
Because when did the first Anchorman come out?
Very long ago. I feel like I was quite young.
I don't think it's positive to think about it.
No. It's too long again. Let's not mull over it. The first Ancoman came out in 2004. The second one th. you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you th. th. you th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. you're all you're all all you're all all you're all all you're all all all all all all you're all you're all you're all you're all you're all all you. you're all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. tho. thooo. th. th. thooooo. th. th. thoooo. tho. tho. tho.. Let's not mull over it.
The first time command came out in 2004.
The second one came out in 2013.
You absolutely left that way too long.
Just let it go.
Let it go, everybody.
Hmm.
So much content.
That's a lot of content.
It's a world of opportunity.
We're all stuck in our houses.
You could be thrown on Netflix and watching John Wick one, two, and three in that all.
Maybe you want to mix it up?
You could be watching Escape from Alcatraz, the old Clintyswood Classic.
If you would like to see a depiction of a prison that looks extremely genteel by
today's stance. It's really good. They're all all all all all all all all all all. their. their. their. their. th. th. th. th. th. th. thii. thi. thi. thi. thathea. thathea. thathea. thathea. that, th. th. th. thathea. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th.

They're all in like nice, neat uniforms.
And they file into the cafeteria,
and they're like, here's your reasonable food.
And barely anybody's getting stabbed or anything.
He's just like, I don't want to be on Alcatraz.
They keep talking, I'm not allowed to leave.
So watch that if you want to see a nice vision of a prison from the past.
You can watch the Twilight Zone, which is the best ever.
It is.
It is.
Are you into the anthology type show, Lucy?
What do you mean by that?
What the fuck do you mean, bro?
What are you try to say?
What are you trying to say about me?
I'm asking if like you just like the Twilight Zone or if you like other anthology shows?
What's another anthology show?
Oh, Tales from the Crypt?
Mmm, okay, okay, now we're talking.
I guess I do like an anthology show. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, well, let me...
Twilight Zone is very good, though.
It's well ahead of its time, and if you've never seen it, please give it a go.
And it looks beautiful.
They did all those, like, the restored versions of all of it, and like, it's a stunningly good-looking show.
So is Rod Serling.
He's a hot
smart man. He wrote like 60% of the episodes as well I think. He certainly did. He
was a visionary. Good man. Well if you're interested in anthologies you could
watch Tales and the Crypt which has every celebrity on the face of the earth in it ever. I'm pretty sure like any person that has been famous between like
1960 and the year 2000 has been in an episode of
tales in the crypt Arnold Schwarzenegger is in one
Wow, everybody is in it.
Tales from the Dark Side, here's another good one, Twilight Zone.
The Outer Limits is like a more sci-fi
type of anthology show.
Amazing stories from 1985?
Which one?
Amazing stories?
Yeah.
Well, they've just got a reboot of that coming out.
On the Apple, whatever the fuck, screaming service, which I will not be getting.
No.
You could watch Night Visions, a sci-fi anthology series hosted by Henry Rollins.
Ah, yes. Ninevisions is good. I mean, it's not great, but Henry Rollins is there, so it's good.
You can watch Masters of Horror.
Which has episodes directed by lots of different...
John Carpenter did one, didn't he?
John Carpenter, Joe Dante, like pretty much, pretty much bloody everybody.
Gone in and did one of those across the various seasons.
Wes Craven, all those, all those folks, you know?
So there's all kinds of fun anthology stuff out there.
The Hitchhiker. More of an 80s, 80s drama slash, well like you know you know
how there was lots of 80s shows that were like like serial things where the
person would be like like quantum leap or whatever you know where they're in a
different situation every week and it's the same sort of formula kind of thing. So more of that like drama, thriller, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, more of an the the the the the the the the their their their they, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, th, th, th, th, th, the, the, the, the, the, the, like, like, a different situation every week and it's the same sort of formula kind of thing so more of that
like drama thriller horror kind of thing a lot of titties in it though for
some reason I was the tell the hitchhiker the hitchhiker
the hitchhiker it's writing this down
the synopses here a thriller, a series of thriller stories linked only by the character of the Hitchhiker who would introduce and close each episode in the style of Rod Serling
or Alfred Hitchcock.
Occasionally stories involve supernatural forces but most plot tours stemmed only from
the dark side of the human spirit.
And I'm going to close on my final recommendation.
Moving away from the hitchhiker to the movie The Hitcher. RIP Rutger Howar, please watch the Hitcher. Absolutely fucking banger of an
80s psycho horror movie starring Rookahower, C. Thomas Howell. You gotta love it. He's the guy
with the black face and soul man. That's right.
I was like, where do I know that name from? That's why I know that name.
Anybody got anything else or should we wrap it up? You watch that show with the
fucking blue blob. He's in a castle, talks to a skull.
The trapdoor. Stay away from that trap door, man.
You gotta stay away from that trap door.
I wonder if it holds up.
Watch Airplane.
Airplane is the highest.
Yeah, it's a good movie.
Highest joke density comedy in existence, I think.
And only a few of them are flying high?
The one that was released is flying high in Australia, yes.
Right, right, yes.
Okay, it is really the height of comedy, I will agree.
It's so fucking good.
I will absolutely back this by saying that to me,
I think the more the more that time goes on,
the absolute pinnacle of comedy is, the naked gun movies,
I haven't seen it. Absolutely get on it. If you like
airplane, please for the love of God watch Flying High. Made by the same guys?
Sorry, not fucking Flying High. Watch the naked gun, at least watch the first one.
Fucking Dynamite. The opening credit sequence of all of those movies makes me laugh so hard every time I see it.
Also featuring murderer OJ Simpson. Cool. That's a nice little touch. The movie Top Secret starring Val Kilmer, Hot Shots and Hot Shots Part Do.
You gotta watch fantastic stuff,
and also National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon Part 1.
Yes.
Which is a Hot Shots style spoof starring Emilio Estevez and Samuel L. Jackson in the Riggs and Murtore roles.
Tim Curry as the bad guy.
Just wonderful comedy.
And all for that same reason that Ben was describing, which is just the number of jokes that they cram in.
The only other thing that I think you can compare it to
is like the, the Golden Age Simpsons
or maybe the first handful of seasons of Futurama.
Where like literally every, every line is a joke.
There's always like something in the background as well.
Yep, there's there's heaps of things going on in the background, there's things happening like leaving and entering the frame all the time,
every sign, everything that is written.
Ah yes, the mizonsen.
Absolutely, they're just taking advantage of absolutely every scrap of
space that they have and every moment of dialogue to be cramming as many jokes as they possibly can. And for me, a man whose brain is deteriorating day by day,
the dumber the jokes, the better.
I agree.
Yeah.
Well, I think that's it.
I think that is at least a bit of content to keep you going.
It's a lot of content.
It's hundreds of hours of content if we keep you going. It's a lot of content. Through these hard hard types. It's hundreds of hours of content if we're being on.
But you've got hundreds of hours.
Every single thing that we mentioned.
Come back to us and we'll hitch up with more.
Yeah, please stay home.
Stay home.
Don't infect anybody.
Come on.
Watch your hands.
Stay a meter and a half away from people, which I believe is 27 feet in Imperial.
That's what I do anyway. Yeah. Yeah, that's it. That's it. We're all getting back to work in Globalism HQ.
Mm-hmm. Thank you for joining us. Thank you for subscribing.
And we'll see you guys later. Bye.
Bye. you know the
